Abstract: A web page may be rendered for display on a client device. The rendered web page may include a non-scrollable portion and a scrollable portion. The non-scrollable portion may contain a first advertisement in a particular position specified by an advertisement placeholder. The first advertisement and the scrollable portion may be based on a first document. A first scroll position of the scrollable portion may be determined to have a first characteristic. The web page may be re-rendered for display on the client device. The re-rendered web page may include the non-scrollable portion containing a second advertisement in the particular position, and the scrollable portion. The second advertisement may be different from the first advertisement. The second advertisement and the scrollable portion may be based on a second document.

Abstract: A pump system for a water supply mains has at least one pump device, a pressure detecting sensor at the pressure side of the pump device, a flow detecting sensor of the pump device, several pressure sensor units (D) remote arranged remotely from the pump device in different part regions of the mains, and a pump control device. The control device includes a model formation module designed in each case to produce a model (A) representing pressure loss from the pressure sensor to the position of the respective pressure sensor unit (D), based on several pressure measured values of at least two pressure sensor units (D) for the at least two associated part regions. The control device is designed for regulation of the pump device based on produced models (A), as well as to a corresponding method for regulation of a pump device in a water supply mains.

Abstract: The invention provides new methods of treatment using TGF-?3 to inhibit scarring in humans, and TGF-?3 for new uses in the inhibition of scarring in humans. In a first incidence of treatment TGF-?3 is provided to each centimetre of a wound margin or each centimetre of a site at which a wound is to be formed in a first therapeutically effective amount; and in a subsequent incidence of treatment TGF-?3 is provided to each centimetre of wound margin in a larger therapeutically effective amount of TGF-?3. The incidences of treatment occur between 8 hours and 48 hours apart from one another. The TGF-?3 may be provided by intradermal injection. Also provided are kits and methods of selecting an appropriate treatment regime for inhibiting scarring associated with the healing of a human wound.
